Now that was impressive! Such a treat to experience steam engines working hard, no matter what size they are. And these sure were putting on a great show. Thanks for getting so many good perspectives and also for including the water stops. 🤠👍

Do all these cars have air brakes? Do they work like the real thing, or is it “straight air” to keep things simple? Looked like they stopped pretty quickly, im curious to know how it’s done in miniature!

[@mattkinnard6899]

Almost all of the cars have air brakes, but they all have an air line at minimum. They operate by straight air, and they do stop quick! I have a video regarding air brake setup on my channel
